If skin is the next advertising platform, does that make all of us media owners?

Axe, well known for their clever use of digital marketing, recently adopted a more low-tech stunt in a nice bit of brand promotion. Calling on the, er. . . services of Larissa Riquelme, a well known Paraguayan model, and a felt-tip marker, Axe managed to activate some interesting PR coverage, and demonstrated a key understanding of their audience.

I only hope for Larissa's sake that the ink isn't permanent, as it might limit future advertising opportunities for her assets.
